Artists

Taro Okamoto
In 1957 contemporary artist Taro Okamoto made his first trip to Japan’s northern Tohoku region in search of the essence of Japanese culture. Discovering a vitality and wellspring of culture with parallels to the Okinawan and ancient Jomon civilizations, Okamoto was inspired to create his masterpiece Tower of the Sun during his Tohoku travels. The exhibition celebrates the 60th anniversary of Okamoto’s encounters with Japan’s Great North.
